With the beginning of this century, when the
constraint exercised by the papists upon the faith
and conscience of the pious, began to cease somewhat,
some who had separated from popery, and
yet nevertheless retained the disposition of the papists,
in the matter of oppressing others for their
religion, poured out their bitterness not only upon
those who had formerly oppressed them, but principally
upon such as had never done them evil, but
always good; however, not unto death, nor severe
punishment of the body, but lighter and lesser penalties,
of which those of Groningen and Sneeck were
the inventors and inaugurators. Which decree, as
far as it is directed against the Anabaptists, we shall
copy literally.
